If you prefer eating healthy you must have an eating disorder known as“orthorexia nervosa”according to experts.
The term has been defined as “a pathological obsession for biologically pure and healthy nutrition.”
In other words, experts are now telling us that our demand for nutrient-dense, healthy food is a mental disorder… that must be treated.

Global research reports:
CNN, Fast Company, Popular Science, and other top outlets have all began to trumpet the talking points on cue relatively recently:
“Orthorexia nervosa is a label designated to those who are concerned about eating healthy. Characterized by disordered eating fueled by a desire for “clean” or “healthy” foods, those diagnosed with the condition are overly pre-occupied with the nutritional makeup of what they eat”.
In short, if you turn your back on low quality, corporate food containing known cancer causing toxic additives and a rich history of dishonesty rooted in a continuous “profits over people” modus operandi, then you may suffer from a mental illness. The cherry on top is that if you have the pseudo-science labeled disorder of orthorexia nervosa, you will be prescribed known toxic, pharmaceutical drugs from some of the same conglomerate corporations that you are trying to avoid by eating healthy in the first place.
Orthorexia has not yet found its way into the latest edition of the psychiatric bible, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), yet is commonly being lumped in with other eating disorders. Stepping back and looking at the ones pushing this label on us shows highly questionable motives.
Psychiatry as a whole is deeply in bed with a pharmaceutical industry that makes the drugs to “treat” every one of these “disorders.” It is often these companies that are wielding influence behind the scenes to invent more mental health categories with their toxic products as the answer. This latest media push to popularize orthorexia as a mental disorder with a goal to marginalize or derail the food revolution appears to have been dead on arrival.
The psychiatric community has even deemed creativity to be a mental illness.
As the people continue to walk away from the broken medical and agricultural/food systems like any abusive relationship, the food makers are willing to do anything to maintain their waning control. Organic and non-GMO food markets have exploded in the last 5 years, so much so that any corporation wishing to not follow the trend risks financial hardship or ruin. In addition, pharmaceutical companies are feeling the strain as less people want their toxic medications and crippling side effects.
Perhaps some people take it too far to the point of self-harm, but the problem we face with a toxic food system is a much larger threat. In closing, let’s be aware of some of the overall BS fed to us by the pharmaceutical bankrolled industry of psychiatry. When healthy eating and creativity are mental issues, something is amiss.

You obviously don’t know the difference between eating healthy, and disordered eating.
Orthorexia Nervosa is not about being careful about what one eats (be this anti GMOs, organic food, foods low in fats/gluten, whatever, which is totally cool); it is about constant obsession over every last detail of the food, and a life-destroying illness. There is a VERY distinct difference, which you have not even discussed.
Please actually do some decent research before posting this absolute bullshit.
Sincerely,
Someone who had an eating disorder, and was close to people with Orthorexia.

A good, “straight up” informative article– thanks Carol– I wonder if its actually an obsessive compulsiveness disorder happening down at the DSM sick making committee section– they keep making up new names obsessively– what’s it all about– its clearly an obsessive thing, whether its about meat or veggies- trains or trams– I wonder if they’ve got other names for other obvious obsession things now? who knows. Be good if they just told these people to cut it out. And they listened. Where do we get that drug.Its got to be in someone’s loving heart and words somewhere– Yoo hoo– come out come out wherever you are.

Clearly, anyone who reads and believes that it is a mental illness of any kind to want to preserve your health and well being, has NOT done their homework. The TRUTH is out there. Just look to the past about people NOT believing in microscopic bacteria and thought the Doctor that first suggested they wash their hands before surgery was insane (and he lost his job)
“They” are and have brainwashed you. YOu have been systematically programmed in every way possible! Follow the money! Who stands to gain from the so-called “scientific” information they share?
Don’t be fooled!! Take responsibility for your own health and stop listening to the controlled and compromised “scientific” “data” It is the bought and paid for propaganda, and the manipulation of your minds for “Their” profit!!

What bullshit ! I cannot believe anyone would print this crap. If it is the truth then it just shows how desperate big food and pharma are to try and destroy beneficial patterns of people who know the truth.
If people believe this then they should go back to empty nutrition junk food.
